[Q] GPS not working after flash

Hi,
I have a SGS with Orange in France
I was JF3 then i flashed to JM9 and noticed that the GPS wasn't working anymore, the icon appears and shows that the GPS is searching, but it never finds any signal and i can't have any location.
I tried JM8: same problem
JPK: same problem
With GPS test everything stays at 0...
The GPS was working well on JF3, I think it was ROM problem, but since i tried many different versions, it seems to be another thing...
Ayone has any solution for this ?
Thanks for your help!

I tried to flash JM5, but still no results...
And with the *#*#1472365#*#* command, i tried some tests, and the GPS never finds satellites...

Need to set it to cold start. Clear gps data. Go outside and run the get gps position test.

Okay thanks,
It finds one satellite, but all the above fields are empty...
No latitude, longitude... etc.
PRN [21]---> CNo 12dbhz .....

i had the same problem when i upgraded my firmware from JF3 to JG4

Ok it works now, seems like you need to be outside, i mean with no roof or whatever... then it works great ! With GPS Test i detect from 6 to 12 sats and pinpoint localization.
I guess i was a bit noob to GPS...

It will work marginally indoors once u get an initial fix as I outlined above and stay on same relative area.

[Q] [Help Needed] GPS dead after official froyo update

Hello,
Last night I found available through KIES the firmware update to Froyo, I got JPA from TMN Portugal.
Phone had some problems with my google account, so I did a Factory Reset, everything seemed right after that, phone was real fast, no lag, I finally got rid of that stupid voodoo color fix wich made screen look to darn saturated....
When I tried GPS, it didn't work at all, couldn't get a lock on anything, I left it trying to stablish a connection for several minutes and nothing happened, usually, it wouldn't take more than 30 secs to get my position even with WiFi off.
Phone is working perfectly, only problem now is GPS, can't get it to work. before upgrading to JPA, I had JM8 from TMN Portugal too... and I had great GPS performance.
I have been thinking about flashing to JPO, but I'm really not sure if this will fix GPS.
Anyone here could help out?
Thanks.

GPS never locks, i was on KK1 baseband, then changed to kk6, then KL1, and now im on UGkk7, and still the same....
Im with franco kernel 14.4 and AOKP 21... dont know whre is the issue...
I will try UGKL1 radio...im in Mexico.
EDIT: Now im on UGKL1 and the GPS never locks : (

Try GPS Test, then settings, update A-GPS. This will load the current and future locations of GPS satellites to speed up GPS fix.
You will also be able to see if it is listening to any GPS satellites.

CM7 GPS not working

Hi,
I found so much different informations about GPS in CM7 but nothing really worked, and I don't know what is correct!
In Modaco FR19 it worked like charm!
I have the latest CM7 (from 07.04.2011), so I have the lto.dat that came with the rom, and my gps.conf looks like:
NTP_SERVER=de.pool.ntp.org
the three XTRA_SERVER...
SUPL_HOST=supl.nokia.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks

Ignore your gps.conf, it isn't used by the O2X. Make sure you're running at least #65, as there is a GPS fix included.
Edit: I see you do have a build new enough for that, so good stuff. How many locations have you tried it in? Use GPS status too see how many sats are picked up and what signal strength they're at.

This won't contribute much...but..
I have the 07.03 CM7 (#66)and;
-in maps, the time it takes to get the signal varies from instantly to a few mins or so.
- in navigation it does not appear to work.

Hi,
So far I only tested it in one location (will test it now in different)
I don't get gps location neither in maps nor navigation!
GPS Status says 0 in view and 0 in use...
So there is nothing I can do, but wait for a fix from CM7?

There isn't likely to be a fix for your individual phone, considering it works for everyone else.
Have you tried re-flashing it? Tried wiping it?

Ok it's fixed, I cleared AGPS data and changed location from inside to outside and got a gps fix in 2 seconds...
Thanks guys

How do you clear the AGPS data?
Thanks!

download GPS Status from market

did you have problems with the gps-fix itself or with navigation?
i'm using CM7.1 and while CoPilot wasn't able to get a gps- fix, google maps navigation worked fine

Had Problems with both
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

I am on the nightly #73. Google navigation works ok, Sygic (latest trial from the market) also gets a solid fix most of the time.
Copilot 9 premium jumps to a location then sits there for some time and does not track the movement, then jumps again and does the same. I had it working ok on stock. My O2X is originally V10d UK version. Copilot 9 UK and Ireland.

Tried to use the tricks from other threads: running GPSTest with a GPS fix in the background and then switching to Copilot. Does not work. BTW a colleague with an SGS on stock also has exactly the same problem.

Hmmm I don't have any reboots with the current CM7 nightly, but I had a few of them on stock. I hated stock and I like CM7 a lot. Would be a pity to go back.

Regarding the GPS lock times.
Be PATIENT the first time you try to get the lock.
For me it took about 5 minutes to get the lock for the first time. After that initial lock it now takes under 10 seconds.
Try using GPS status from market to see the satellites.
Needless to say, do this outside for best signal
I'm running CM7 #73

[Q] cm10 gps problem

Hello, i am using 20121014 nigthly cm10 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778526
It seems for me that gps works kinda bad since my last installed cm 9 or cm 10, i dont remember..
Any advices how to fix it ? It fixes realy slowly and not accuracy..

Try hardware fix(search forum for this) and try fasterfix from market,should work..

It seems that I'm not the only one. I'm quite sure that something's definitely off in CM10 (others reported the same for SGS3, I don't know whether it's relevant or not...). Okay it's great that there's a hardware fix which should make the GPS perform better but still, it's not the primary problem. With CM9 I had a GPS fix in max. 20 seconds, now I can't get a stable one in 20 minutes. (Yeah, I've also tried FasterFix by the way.)

My gps works just fine on CM10, however, for some reason I sometimes have to have internet access when activating my gps for it to lock on satellites, I suppose it's because it updates gps info from the ntp server or something...
The difference is a weak connection to one satellite, and near-instant connection to 10-15 of them.
(tested with LBSTestMode)
I've also changed the server in gps.conf to NTP_SERVER=no.pool.ntp.org as that's my country specific server (norway).

Theres a really good app to configure your gps to right country. Hope it helps.

Thanks, already tried to use it for the country I'm in at the moment. (Yes, my GPS just broke down abroad, as my luck have it... )

[Q] CM11 GPS issue with Glonass

My phone is on unofficial CM11 developed by @laufersteppenwolf.
The GPS is working but just couldn't lock any Glonass satellite. I have tried almost all gps.conf in XDA that claim to fix GPS with no lock.
In particular, I tried the patch from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455885.
Still, my phone doesn't capture any Glonass satellite.
The hardware side should be fine as it can lock normal U.S. GPS satellites.
But without the help of Glonass, the locking takes much longer time.
Anyone shares the same symptom? Could it a bug in the existing CM11 build?

Tested topNTP?
This app solved my problem with gps in customROMs.
Maybe can help in your case. :fingers-crossed:
Best Regards.

Thanks but I've tried topNTP already.
It seems that the phone has never attempted to download any XTRA file no matter what gps.conf is in place.
It seems your phone is working as it is supposed to be. May I know which ROM you're on?

Good luck mate.
